Here Comes Summer. I think..

Summer has always inspired great music from The Beach Boys, Alice Cooper. Mungo Jerry and others – and even more downer Summer music is great, such The Alarm and Rain in the Summertime or Eddie Cochran’s Summertime Blues. The Smiths wrote a song all about Summer called Cemetery Gates. A-ha sang an elegy about Summer moving on. We start with Ol’ Blue Eyes singing Summer Wind – and pop-punks The Ataris singing a song about the song, Summer Wind. Later, Shakespeare also pops up channelled by Bryan Ferry.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
